That didn’t take long. Even with the shipping of the new Mac Pros delayed until the 30th, Apple has gone ahead and updated Final Cut Pro X with a whole list of new features and advancements, naturally including compatibility with the new Mac Pro’s hardware which should give the software a huge boost. Among it’s other notable features, the 10.1 update adds support for video monitoring at resolutions up to 4K via Thunderbolt 2 and HDMI on select Mac computers. Now you’ll have to buy new monitors too! The list of changes is huge, but here they are thanks to MacRumors who found the complete list when I couldn’t. (more…)

The new Mac Pro is finally available online in the Apple Store! Back in June, Apple gave everyone a sneak peek of the upcoming update to the Mac Pro at WWDC.

I’ll let that sink in. Yes, the design of the Mac Pro has not changed in 10 years. This from the company that changed the look of their computers about every other year since the iMac was introduced.
